Chapter 205: Chapter 205: The Qiao family bullies her
Seven years ago....
Seven years ago...
Those numbers echoed in her mind. Seven years ago, after that road accident, Pulan didn’t want to have anything to do with Chen He or the Qiao family. But because Grandpa Qiao asked her to return, that’s why she came back.
She turned to Chen He and said. "No thanks. I will find my seat with my hubby," she replied coldly. Seven years ago, that was something she doesn’t want to think about nor go through again.
Pulan felt ShenJi’s warm hands enveloping hers, a symbol of her husband’s continuous support. The warmth from his hands was the only thing keeping her sane and not from doing anything stupid like punching Chen He in the face.
"Let’s go over there. Don’t you miss grandpa? Have a drink. Your throat is dry," Qiao ShenJi only looked at Pulan in this large hall.
Pulan understood her husband’s intentions, they both wished for the asshole to get out of their face and stop bothering with their lives.
Earlier on, she almost reveal herself, freezing on stop and her heart stopped beating at that moment because of his words. But soon her heart rate was back to normal as she quickly regain her composure in a matter of seconds.
"Yes, I missed my grandfather a lot. You’re so understanding, dear hubby," she peck his cheek with a kiss. The two acted very lovey dovey that Chen He was disgusted. He sharply turned away, unable to withstand their affectionate actions and words.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Qiao ShenJi, eyes full of hatred. Though he knew that she was crazily in love with Qiao ShenJi, he still wanted to let her know that he, too cared deeply for her and would give her the world if she wanted it. He, too was capable of protecting and loving her.
In fact, he was confident that he was better than Qiao ShenJi. Hence it came out as an insult to his face when she married Qiao ShenJi who was nothing but a lowly street rat who was making ends meet by doing low paid dirt jobs.
"Let’s go, cupcake," Qiao ShenJi said as he brought her hands to his lips and kissed. Pulan giggled.
"Oh, you’re such fun, ShenJi. I’ll never be tired of your sweet mouth," she said and planted a quick kiss on his lips.
Then with their hands interwined together, the couple made their way towards a large dark brown table, where most of the family members and relatives gathered.
Chen He was allowed to walk into the Qiao mansion because his father was the family’s friend.
They left Chen He standing there, unable to speak because anger was already spreading through his body and he had to control himself from bursting out in anger. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
They didn’t get to see the malicious smile on his lips as he watched the couple leave.
Many of people in the large grandiose hall stared at Qiao ShenJi and Pulan like they were virus and bacteria which might spead some sort of disease to them.
They were avoided like flies. Their gazes held disdain and contempt as they shook their heads in disapproval.
Pulan could already hear some girls gossiping and staring at them unfriendly.
Sigh, they were probably saying bad things about she and her husband again. She decided not to bother with. They weren’t important.
"Look who is here. It is not Pulan and her husband who follows her around like a puppy," a girl said in a cocky and mean manner. This was Qiao Xue, Pulan’s other cousin from her father’s side. The other girls laughed and mocked them.
Well, it was like this. Pulan’s father, Qiao Nai, was the youngest brother in his generation. He had two older brothers. Qiao Nai married a rich woman and had two children, Qiao Nian and Qiao Tong with her. Qiao Nai was also Qiao Minde’s father but with an unknown woman. He also had another affair outside the house which born Qiao Pulan.
The first brother, Qiao Gaoyu had his own children. The second brother, Qiao Xiuyu whom also married some other rich entrepreneur woman, had three children, Qiao Meng being the eldest son, Qiao Xue and Qiao Wen, his two daughters who were snobbish troublemakers. They loved to find faults with Pulan since during their schooldays.
Pulan was tempted to say something harsh to slap Qiao Xue in the face but ShenJi squeezed her hand, getting her attention. He didn’t want her to cause a scene and become a laughing stock because of him, though the couple was already considered a laughing stock.
So Pulan merely just walked pass Qiao Xue and Qiao Wen. She settled on a chair with her husband by her side. But Qiao Xue seems to be eager to ruffle Pulan’s feathers because the latter continued badmouthing her in front of everyone.
"I can’t believe grandfather invited her and her matrilocal husband over," Qiao Xue said while checking out her nails. Qiao Xue was super obsessed with her appearance and nails. She treasured them as if they were gold.
"Yeah, her puppy! I can’t believe what Third Uncle and Auntie were thinking when they allowed such marriage. Such a stain on the family’s name, don’t you have anything to say?" Qiao Wen addressed her rudely.
Pulan didn’t noticed it until her two cousins started talking about it - where was her parents? She looked around but didn’t see that. Was it true that they refused to meet her? Or even give her a glance? For god’s sake, she was their biological daughter!
Pulan would have started crying if this was her old self. But in front of her family members who would be so happy to see her weakness, no, she can’t cry.
She learnt these things through many years of hardships and difficulties. You can’t always have things your way. Luckily, she had ShenJi by her side. He was like a lucky charm, giving her happiness with that gentle sweet smile of his.
"Well, I did what I wanted to do the most," Pulan answered her cousin’s question. "Marry a man whom I loved, instead of marrying his money," Her tone seemed to be mocking Qiao Wen for being materialistic.
